Tonight was inspiring... on a few different levels! this was the first night that i had to run ALONE! i was extremely nervous about running by myself. i didn't know if i was going to have the same drive that i've had when someone is next to me pushing me... running next to me just for me.
but... what i discovered tonight... i'm the one running for me... no one can push me any harder than i'm willing to push myself. i got farther faster and with more ease than even Tuesday night. there were moments during my run... scenery, animals, smells... that awakened me and made me realize that i'm doing this and it's all me!!!! i couldn't help but smile... i was running for me...
there was something else that i realized tonight...
because of the intervals that i did i ended up with a rather long walk home. it's been a long time since i've spent some well-needed "me time". i had a rough day, but i think i'm starting to notice that thing that everyone talks about... i was able to just gain a little perspective, some sense out of my frustration. the weirdest thing... i wasn't even thinking about anything. i was just taking it all in. it was like i was seeing things thru "new" eyes... wow! it was pretty amazing.
if i get nothing out of this whole endeavor, i think i've gained a better sense of self. allowing myself to just be...
bring on the next opportunity...
